Is that a 6 card Doomsday pile? Or am I missing something.

Is that a 6 card Doomsday pile? Or am I missing something.
I think that Predict is an interesting "replacement" for Standstill in control. Sometimes you just can't cast Standstill, but you can always use Predict. In the deck I'm working on (which is kind of...
I really like Humility. Turning all of their creature investments into vanilla 1/1s is pretty awesome and helps stop the bleeding. I wouldn't run more than 2 Enlightened Tutor (I hate losing a draw)...
Having Thoughtseize, Duress and Hymn might be overkill on the discard. Maybe try some removal? Snuff Out, Terror, Smother, Doom Blade all come to mind.
Force of Will seems like the first card to go. I mean it costs 5 mana.
Pretty good read with a really cool title.
In my opinion, I think that TES is the closest to my playstyle and ability for replicating ANT now with Mystical Tutor gone. I like the speed and the...
You make some valid arguments against the Thopter engine. Yes, the pieces are dead on their own, but you are also drawing tons of cards with Jace and Predict and cantrip and filtering with Top,...
Hanni, is there a reason you're against running the Thopter engine? It seems like it could easily fit into your deck. It's also interesting to see the virtual card advantage (CBTop) and real card...
*cough* Isn't there a portion of a rule that covers capitalization and stuff? *cough*
@flyboyeze - It sounds to me like you have an issue with people running Relic over Crypt. Not all decks do...
Goyf is likely the best creature you can steal from them early on. Otherwise, you're stuck with a 1/1 (Ape, Nacatl, Lavamancer) or at best a 2/2 exalted. And keeping the Harness on is exhausting your...
Top is better, cheaper to cast, and is protected by non-Grip removal. Top also has synergy with fetches and can actually grab a card on top if needed. Crystal Ball will probably see play in Standard...
BEB and Hydroblast are fine choices for the reasons you mentioned, DDK. The Blasts do also offer up a solution to the format's most popular sweeper for U.
Why wouldn't you want to run Threads...
Discard doesn't answer Tormod's Crypt if they play...or if they draw it after you Duress them (I hate when that happens).
Usually, I've seen people answer graveyard hate by luring them to crack...
Etherium Scultpor adds Helm redundancy. Trinket Mage tutors for Tops.
This is actually a pretty neat deck. It has a very SI feel to it without losing life, but being dependent on IGG. I goldfished the OP list and sometimes I'd get stuck on a hand with Dream Salvage...
They are the same if there is no Lord out. Both die to Bolt (Zoo is really popular I hear ;) ) With a Lord out, the Bolt always hits the Lord from my experience. With a Lord that lives, Selkie wins....
Loxodon Warhammer and Behemoth Sledge make your guys bigger and have lifegain too. I'm not saying they're the best, but they are options to consider.
How good/bad would Impulse (or Peer Through Depths if keeping secrets is less important) be for those people who do not like the life loss of LDV? And what is the average loss of life for LDV? I was...
Hao abowt dey dun go an reprint da hole powr 9 an unban it?
I flipped threw the artical. I didn't like it. Wasn't there an article that hit about the same cards and then more at SCG?
@octopusman - He has Lightning Bolt.
Yeah, Sylvan Library might be able to be dropped for something different. Probably Jitte or extra burn? Jitte is pretty good imo, as it kinda wins games. I'd...
Preordain is pretty interesting to me. It seems on par with Ponder, maybe a smidge worse. I think if it had been scry 3, it would replace Ponder right away.
If you scry both cards away, that fresh...
This. Exactly.
Resolving cards that cost 4+ mana need to have a big effect on the game if you ask me. They kinda have to end the game or make you not lose the game with the speed of the format at...
Waikiki brings up a couple points that I didn't even think about. But yeah, the more you invest, the better they get, but it's risky, clunky and I'd never want to hard cast one or have it stuck in my...
Vengevine :/
It's kind of interesting to have these "free" extra creatures come out, but it's pretty dependent on Survival to be good and it's a lot of dancing imo.
